Louisville, Kentucky -- Hot Browns

Foods Your City Is Known For

This open-faced sandwich made with turkey and bacon was invented in Louisville, nearly 100 years ago, where it was first conceived as an alternative to late-night ham-and-egg suppers. It’s often spiced up with tomatoes, mushroom slices and even canned peaches, but if you’re looking for authenticity, order it with Mornay sauce, parmesan cheese, pimento and bacon strips.
